Mayor Law invited Chief Rick Marshall of the Renton Regional Fire Authority (RRFA) and Chief

City's fireworks ban. Chief Marshall emphasized that Renton's fireworks ban was voter‐
approved and has been in effect for 13 years. He stated that a zero‐tolerance policy is in
effect this year. He indicated that Fire Inspectors, with the assistance of the police
department, will seize all fireworks from residents reported for violating the ban. Police Chief
VanValey added that the police department will also be patrolling neighborhoods on the
Fourth of July. Responding to Councilmember Persson's inquiry, Chief VanValey affirmed that
citations may be issued for violating the fireworks ban.
